I am open for discussing the default model for WHDLoad variants going forward. The thing I like about A600 is that the emulation is cycle-exact and quite accurate, so, games should not break when updating the UAE core. A1200 (cycle-exact or not) is less accurate, so there could be compatibility issues when updating UAE. Also, A1200 (cycle exact) is much more demand to emulate.
On the other hand, A1200 without cycle exact is much easier on the host system (comparable to A600 cycle exact). And many WHDLoad games are patched to be less dependent on exact system timing (to work better on different kinds of Amigas, including high-end). So maybe a non-cycle-exact A1200 model as default is a good idea. Someone needs to do some testing and come up with a good config for this model - to be as compatible with WHDLoad games as possible. Memory cycle exact? Compatible CPU or not? Immediate blitter? I'm not sure what set of options would be the ideal base here.
